This project began in 2013 when club members worked in two preschool classrooms: a class of three year olds and a class of four year olds. We now focus solely on the three year olds presenting fifteen lessons a year encompassing a variety of gardening and nature related lessons.

​

Our planting projects include students planting mums in their window boxes in the fall, planting pansies in those same boxes in the spring (see photo below), and planting seeds for a gift for their moms for Mother’s Day.

​

The children hone their observation skills with a Fall scavenger hunt and a walk around the front of the school to find signs of Spring.

​

Experiments with rain and wind assist the children with an understanding of some forms of weather.  Life cycles of a monarch butterfly and a frog are reinforced using paper puppets which the students use during the lessons.

​

These are just some of the lessons which are presented to the Pre-schoolers each year.
